The Democratic Senators Hiding Behind Joe Manchin

[FBaggins]

38. Nope

She did say that she was open to changes that would keep it from being blocked, but had so far rejected (“not at this time”) actually killing the filibuster.

Her most recent comment:

Asked Feinstein if a 1/6 filibuster would motivate her to abolish the rule:

"I don't see us abolishing the 60-vote threshold. I don't."

Would she vote to nix?

"This is the first time I've heard it. No one has proposed it. No one has talked to me about it. So it's a non-issue."

Also “The Senate is an institution, and this is part of that institution,” Feinstein said of the filibuster. Asked if there was anything Senate Republicans could do to get Feinstein to change the rule to 51 votes, she told me: “I haven’t gone that far in my thinking, because I just know that votes aren’t there to do it.”
